Harvey Goldstein is chairman of Harvest International, Inc., and a businessman with nearly five decades of experience. Currently based in Singapore, Harvey Goldstein's work includes consulting with businesses in Indonesia, where he formerly sat as president and governor of the American Chamber of Commerce. Indonesia, an archipelago consisting of 17,000 islands located on the equator between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, is the world's fourth most populated nation.

Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, Java, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan are the largest islands in the archipelago, with Java having the most concentrated cluster of inhabitants. As a developing region, Indonesia has previously struggled with overpopulation and illiteracy, among other issues like a financial crisis and unrest among inhabitants. However, progress has been made in recent years to boost the nation's economy and morale. Because of its scenic beauty and a wide variety of plants and animals, including some rare creatures like the Komodo dragon, tourism plays a large role in the economy.
